I've had a hell of a week.
I was buried last weekend so we had to postpone. To make up I'll post this now and this week we'll double bake to catch up. I wanted something to go well with the sprinkles and realised we haven't baked my normal, go to, bog standard cake.
She wants to build her repertoire and this is the thing I've baked more often than any other by far. She needs to know it :)
I make this one in imperial, not metric! This amount is a double batch. Suitable for a triple layer cake or maybe two double layers. Yum, yum
12 oz self raising flour
12 oz marge / butter (room temp)
12 oz sugar
6 eggs
little bit of vanilla extract
Put it all in a bowl. Beat. Put it in a prepared pan. Bake at gas mark 5 or equivalent til done.
Couldn't be simpler!
I made plenty of batter so I could whip up a triple layer cake and some buns too. Jam and buttercream icing between the layers. Simple icing and rainbow sugar on top. Deliciousness all the way through! It was easy as every time I make this. Never fails. I should really put a little more effort into the photography of my baking. It doesn't help that at this time of year it's dark over here by the time we finish so I can't use natural light. That'll change before I know it though! Can't wait.
